As high end place as it gets. Super cool atmosphere. The bar is impressive. The food is the best quality you can get. Take a lot of money, but you'll remember it forever. Weekends they often have music and some dancing in the bar area.

Drinks & Nightlife

True and authentic cowboy bar with food too. They have bull riding most Wednesday and Friday nights. Live music usually on Friday and Saturday. This place is a local and iconic favorite. Only good for kids during the late afternoon. The evening turns into a dancing, music and bar for adults to have fun. Not a bad drive from the house. The Town of Cave Creek is a great spot to visit. Very old time Scottsdale.

Probably the most popular hiking spot and the views do not get any better from the top of Camelback Mountain. It's not an easy hike though. It requires upper body strength (if you go the whole way) and endurance. Stay on the trails and take plenty of water. Every year many visitors are rescued from the mountain and some have died from going off-trail or not having enough water. It's always busy no matter what time of year. For the novice hiking you can go up about a quarter mile with no problem. After that is gets tough.
